Official Result of the Indonesian Legislative Election 2014 Released

Of the twelve parties that participated in the election, two failed to meet the electoral threshold. These are the Crescent Star Party (PBB) and the Indonesian Justice and Unity Party (PKPI). A minimum requirement of 3.5 percent of the vote was needed to win a seat in Indonesia’s House of Representatives (DPR).

Data from the KPU showed that the Indonesian electorate numbered 185.6 million (of a population that totals 250 million people), 30 percent of which (approximately 60.6 million) did not use their voting right.

Based on "Law 42 - 2008 on Presidential Elections", a minimum of 25 percent of the popular vote is required in the legislative election (or twenty percent of seats in the House of Representatives, DPR) to give a political party - or a coalition of political parties - the power to nominate a presidential candidate. Therefore, the parties are currently busy trying to form coalitions. The country’s presidential election will be held on 9 July 2014.
